Hover to see token name and bars^(Forum) 477 votes, Not Now
- Seems low priority to Roll20
- Partial Workaround, name: You can add a character's name to the token's Tooltip, so it will show on a hover.
- Partial Workaround, bars: One could create an API that updates the tooltip description each time some stat changes for the character, so the tooltip could display character health or other stats either as numerical values, or using some unicode symbols. Linebreaks in tooltips dont currently work Andreas J. (talk) 17:09, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
